AIDS deaths in San Francisco in November 1986,including Steven Del Re
Steven Del Re, Rock Hudson’s personal friend in San Francisco, was another patient of Rock’s French doctor Dominique Dormont. And he received the same experimental drug in Paris. He should be an important figure but by the time of trial he has been dead for a long time. When Marc Christian was asked to fly to Paris to be tested, Del Re met Christian at the airport, helped him find a place to stay and escorted him to Hôpital Percy where he was examined by Dr. Dormont. While awaiting test results, they went to Cannes, had to sleep together in a one bedroom motel. They went to the beach during the day and at night to a gay bar called Zanzi.
Rock’s biographer Sara Davidson depicted their experience in France“All the Europeans were scared of Americans,” Del Re says. “When they heard the accent, they’d say, ‘You all have AIDS,’ and walk away.” Del Re was surprised that Christian “did not seem all that freaked out. I would have been panicked. He seemed more concerned about Rock than himself.” Del Re had known Rock for years and said, “Rock was one of the nicest, most generous people I ever knew, but I was angry he hadn't told Marc he had AIDS. Marc did not seem angry, which I found strange. My anger was stronger than Marc's.”
